Paybacks are Hell: Trinity

82-61 was the final score in the University of Kentucky's revenge game against South Carolina. It was a beat down that the Gamecocks must have known was coming. Despite Devan Downey's effort (but 9-25 from the field? Come on!), the combination of DeMarcus Cousins (19 points, 11 rebounds) and the reemerging Patrick Patterson (23 points, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks) proved too much to handle for the 'Cocks.
The inside game for Kentucky was completely dominant the entire time, that was part of the reason that the Cats shot 50% for the game. They completely out muscled their opponents on the boards and out hustled them for loose balls, something they didn't do the first time around.
The only thing that concerns me is their lack of shooting accuracy from behind the arc. They were 3-11 last night. One three from Patterson, one three from Miller and one garbage three from Liggins at the end of the game that he had to put up because the shot clock was running out. I don't think it will be that big of a deal come the Big Dance if they keep maintaining their inside dominance.
Finally, words cannot express how glad I am that we will never have to see Devan Downey face the Big Blue ever again. Every time that guy hit a shot I cringed. I can't stand him. I hope his short ass never gets a minute in the NBA. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Go Cats, beat the Vols!

  3. This picture is gigantic and the Trinity reference only has meaning if the reader paid attention to your earlier posts. Not a safe bet.
